All About The Jab

[SquareCircle]

Another thing for any beginners. Turn the jab over. It is so important. Not only does turning this punch over, combined with tucking your chin down, protect you from right hooks to the chin...But it also adds a spiral effect to the punch, which will definately cut your man regardless of his skin color if you turn over a snappy hard jab.

You live, and you learn. I was so ****** for doing this but in Vancouver my roommate got a knife pulled on him right in front of me. I was carrying a bag of groceries, as my friend gave the guy his wallet I grabbed the hand he was wielding the knife with. At first, I thought I had the situation under control but he planted his feet and pulled back as hard as he could and I lost grip, sliced my little finger on my right hand in the process. He did that and I gasped and looked at my hand as the ****er took off with my friend's wallet.

When someone pulls a knife on you, don't try to be a hero. Just give em the ****in' money. I mean, unless you're ****** enough to have a couple thousand on you or something.

God damn! Thats deep bro! Good luck with getting back into the swing of things bro!

I like the jab for power and snap I mix them up and always catch people offguard its my best punch and the first punch I ever knocked some one down with... Its the most effective and usefull in tough fights and should be among every boxers main priorities.

De la Hoya used to throw a really good powerful jab, I remember him basically destroying a guy with it but can't remember who it was.
